wasn't the World title unification thing the idea of the president before Tanahashi anyway?
They've probably been planning this for a while now.

i guess it's retroactively counting everybody that held the IWGP [world] heavyweight championship as a champion for the sake of holding the now-restored IWGP heavyweight championship.
so the guys that held it between 2021 and now that did not hold the true hebbyq such as goto, ospreay, moxley, ZSJ, takeshita, etc are counted as champions.

Wonder how it'll reflect on the sideplates. Tsuji will officially be the final sideplate nametag. But if they count the world title holders, they're over the 32 nametag limit

Yeah, other than some gimmicky shit like the Taiji Ishimori gets ridiculous PPVs. The side stuff no one bothers with.

>>19634124
They say there that the lineages got merged right there on that page, though. So it makes no sense not to have them. Probably just worried about space.

No, that was two titles being merged. The lineages didn't get merged there and it'd make no sense, since it'd mean there'd have been multiple different champions at the same time back in 2014 or whatever.
In fact, they explicitly reset the lineage back to 0 at that point, which is why Kota Ibushi was considered the first champion.

I guess they're waiting to see if New Japan acknowledges the World Champions in the pre match champion scroll. If it jumps from Ibusbi straight to Tsuji then they're not. Gotta wait for the first defense.

They should keep IC belt exclusively in Japan to avoid getting WWE radar while Global belt can trade back and forth with foreign talents. Also get rid of that NJPW Strong belts and NJPW World TV belt

that is really really good news. tsuji has saved NJPW, both by burying that gay DDT shitter they were calling a champion and by bringing back the title that actually matters. I guarantee you won't see tsuji getting ass slammed on some DDT show like take-a-shit-ahhhh.
